List Mgmt. 2025 List Management discussion

It was a nothing story designed to make us look a bit pathetic but it was cringe move despite that.

This

 

[HeavenlySources]

From Gettable - Mattaes Philippou expected to sign a new deal with St Kilda through to 2030

Oh fhuck thats the stuff, now just sign Nas up to 2030 and be done with it

 

[gringo2011]

Hilarious you think that’s what happened hahaha

And what happened my little mate?

 

[Train12]

Surely if Misson indicates we will hear something within a week that suggests Nas is staying. If he was leaving, we wouldn't hear until post season. I imagine they're just ironing out the finer details now.

This!

 

[stavro#4]

I didn’t say he was, I said the angle for the story is almost cliche.

To be clear it’s a stupid story, I agree, I just think your anger at it is for the wrong reason.

My anger is Tom Morris has run with this as his big story of the night on 9news and immediately once it’s been run has posted on X it was a story that is months old.

If no one sees that post. The narrative is the saints shit the bed.

I think that’s fair

Can we seperate the Richie rich which fork we are eating with and the fact a football club president has his best player and his family at his house.

Like Ross was there and it wouldn’t surprise me if RTB just ate his drumstick with his ****ing hands.

So they ate the dirty bird? Please tell me there was also Dimmies and VB

 

[kernelT]

Perchance just reminds me of this classic philosophical text.

And people try to tell you civilisation is doomed.

 

[littlecreatures]

To be fair i did say its a stupid story all the way around.

I think the angle is that weve misread what Nas values, he doesnt want to be wined and dined and given wristys by creepy old white dudes just give him his 2m a year and let him spend it on his family and building orphanges in third world countries etc.

AGAIN, its a stupid ****in story but painting the indigenous kid from the backwaters of the bush as being uncomfortable in the rich white surroundings and the saints "not getting it" is the obvious angle to me.

The other angle being that community obligations and taking care of your people are paramount to Aboriginal structures, and Nas may have taken some comfort towards the extent of the club’s commitment to ensuring this happens.

I think there’s been a bit of mayo put on this one. Make of it what you will.

I agree with this. The reality is the reality. But the optics and the timing of the optics counts - unfortunately and often

 

[Murraj1966]

I just had a mate who is the most pessimistic St Kilda person ever tell me he met some “inner circle” guy who told him Nas will sign for 2 years

I am in no way ITK and take it with a massive grain of salt but anything to pile on top of this media circus

 

[stavro#4]

Has Dave said this or are we hoping that’s what he says at the member event?

 

[akaifu]

What’s the read of the land?

The leaks last week were incorrect (or too optimistic) that he’s staying or that he and his manager have changed their mind again?

Not incorrect about him staying

Incorrect about him actually signing

 

[kernelT]

Even my wife who gives zero shits about footy comes out every morning this week and asks if he's signed yet. Also watched the full last quarter of last week on replay. She's invested in the one that's probably gone.

If I didn't know any better I'd say that she just likes to see you in sufferance and is merely watching you build up some steam.

Only truly smooth brainers aren’t gonna see through the transparent shit journalism.

It’s ****ing staggering that private school cuck remains employed

 

[CaptainRisky]

He isn’t from the backwaters of the bush though mate like Liam Jurrah.

He grow up as a primary school kid in and around our club. From the moment Terry left he grew up in suburban Adelaide around other football clubs etc.

100% respectful to his culture and everything and I’m sure it’s significantly important to him. Just pointing out that there is a difference.

Ultimately, you are trying to show this kid he means the world to us. Even if as a parent (which we both are) aren’t comfortable in these settings, the setting is literally we will do anything for your kid to be happy here and for you to know we will ensure he is set for life - that it will never be a concern to anyone etc.

I’m not sure how else that is supposed to happen is more my point and why the story is the biggest load of horse crap.

Who the hell was filming it when everyone was sitting at the table, did the manger bring someone to film it and if he did the club should have said this is a private matter and we don't want it recorded

 

[Train12]

Has Dave said this or are we hoping that’s what he says at the member event?

I think he has (on previous page I think, from a 40 year member at an event).

 

[akaifu]

I honestly think we’re all just coping.

If he wanted to stay he would have signed by now. Like what really is another 2/3 weeks going to do lol. He's been here for 4 years.

It’s a shame cause he’s a gun but eh upwards and onwards. We’ll get slaughtered in the media kind of like now but what can you do when the bloke wants to go home

As has been said about a million times in here

Another 2/3 weeks of 30+ disposals and 2+ goals gets his manager a few extra 10s of thousands per year

 

[BrutThough]

The issue with the private dinner with the president and wealthy business associates who are showing things the club can provide off field and post football is there is no way for it to not be an opulent display of wealth given his home is a display of his wealth.

They could have rented a private room in restaurant but then that takes away any intimacy and privacy. It's not as if they could have rented a middle class home to hold the dinner in because do we want the message to be that this indigenous family isn't welcome or can't handle being in the home of a rich jewish guy. It's a bit of a damned if we do, damned if we don't situation.

 

[mighty_sainters]

One thing we can guarantee is that nobody on this forum would ever be an FBI negotiator.

 

[Train12]

Apologies if someone has already posted this but my mate is at the 40 year + members function and he said that Missen said that we should hear on NAS over the next week. That’s it.

stavro#4

 

[Dard Ball Get]

And what happened my little mate?

Vienetta because he’s rich ofc

Not if his manager is trying to bleed us.

If that were true, he isn’t telling us in the next week that he’s leaving. He’s holding that out until the end of the season.

Legit still have my brain wired that Vienetta for desert and imperial leather soap in the bathroom means people are ****ing loaded.
